Octopussy/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In a movie loaded with groaners, we get this gem:

Bond: I trust you can handle this contraption, Q.
Q: It goes by hot air.
Bond: Oh, then you can.

  • Kamal and Gobinda getting in their car to escape an imminent nuclear explosion... and the car doesn't start.
  • Q and Vijay waiting for Bond as he visits Octopussy's island lair:

Q: 007 on an island populated exclusively by women? We won't see him 'til dawn!

  • Vijay gets a few one-liners in of his own:

Bond: Vijay! We've got company!
Vijay: No problem. This is a company car! (revs the go-cart for a slow-speed chase)

  • Bond sliding down the marble stairwell, realizes there's a rather painful-looking marble knob at the stop, and shoots the knob out of the way before he hits his marbles with it. Chuckle at the obviousness.
    • What really sells it is the look on Bond's face.
  • Bond says, "Hiss off!" to a large, menacing snake. The snake meekly complies.
